INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of MapSend™ allowing you to expand the use of your MAP 410. MapSend is a CD with an application program that contains C-MAP’s NT CompactTM Marine Electronic Charts (Marine CD) or enhanced road and Point of Interest detail (Land CD) which are uploaded to your MAP 410. This CD allows you to customize your receiver to fit all your boating and outdoor adventures. You will have the ability to download detailed C-MAP NT Compact nautical charts, superlakes and an additional 250,000 points of interest such as marinas, parks, campgrounds, tourist attractions and highway exit ramp services such as RV campgrounds, restaurants, ATM’s and gas stations and more.
With MapSend you can now expand the areas you are travelling by uploading nautical maps, superlakes and points of interest for a more comprehensive database. Making your way outdoors has never been so easy as it is with the additional information contained on this CD-ROM.
This guide will aid in the installation of MapSend as well as give you directions on how to use this program to increase your ability to navigate new areas of interest. The Getting Started section of this guide will have you navigating the MapSend database in no time at all and give you the opportunity to upload those areas of the map that you will need for your next journey outdoors.
THE MAGELLAN MAPSEND CD
MapSend’s CD-ROMs are a cartographic and information resource for you to use to aid you while navigating with your Magellan MAP 410 GPS receiver. Available in marine and land versions, these new databases of marine charts, land maps and Points of Interest (POI’s) can now be uploaded into your receiver to enhance the cartographic database contained within. Some items contained within the MapSend database need to be “unlocked” by calling the nearest C-MAP office listed in the back of this guide. Using the procedure contained in the section Unlocking A C-MAP NT Compact Region, you can unlock regions of interest easily and inexpensively without having to buy different cartridges for each region and with the preview feature (available for Marine Charts and SuperLakes) you’ll be able to preview a region to make sure it’s the right one for you (see “Preview” under “Selecting (Opening)/Removing A C-MAP Region” for further details).
